My new favorite Cobb salad. It’s bright, creamy, crunchy, savory, sweet… it hit all the marks for me!

WAY over priced for nothing special over fried chicken. I counted 20 long cut fries in the bowl for $5 !!!! NEVER SEEN A BIGGER FRENCH FRY RIP OFF. and y'all are Super wasteful with those reusable plastic cups being thrown away. ♻️♻️♻️also, another "tip even though we don't have table service and you pick up your own food and throw it away yourself". WHAT AM I TIPPING FOR?

I’m not usually one for a hit job but this one deserves it. The Shredded chicken sandwich was absolute garbage. The table had two and they were both horrible. They claim to have all of these lemon dressings and it was just old shredded chicken on bread, not even mayo to help you choke it down . There was nothing else. Overpriced and horrible. Do not waste your time.

And the Parmesan fries were garbage as well. Not even a hint of rosemary or Parmesan.

It sucks that we used to have such iconic restaurants right next to Barton. Springs and this is all that we’re left with.

Not sure why Lou’s is averaging a 4.0 rating. Service was arguably the best in Austin, the food was fresh and full of flavor, and the parking was a dream (complimentary garage steps away from the door)!! Highly recommend!

What a ridiculous world that we have built for ourselves that we think it’s normal and okay to give an email address or phone number to get fried chicken. Money exchange is the requirement- not identity.

My order failed at the text message verification step, and when I asked to place an order manually- couldn’t event find anyone interested in helping- left without attaining any delicious fried chicken.

Lou’s management, if you read this- get it together.

Lou’s at Barton Creek has quickly become one of our favorite spots to bring the family. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it’s perfect whether we’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out for a while after a walk on the trail.

There’s always plenty of parking (which is rare in Austin!), and ordering couldn’t be easier—you just scan the QR code at your table and order from your phone. Everything comes out fast and hot, and the food is consistently great.

It’s super family-friendly, too. Our toddler loves running around the outdoor space, and we love being able to sit back with a cold drink and enjoy the laid-back vibe. We’ve been dozens of times and it never disappoints.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a casual, easy, and delicious spot in the area.
